The Dumbbell One Arm Decline Chest Press is a unilateral chest exercise that targets the lower chest muscles. It requires a decline bench, a dumbbell, and proper form to effectively engage the chest muscles.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell One Arm Decline Chest Press, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Set up a decline bench at a slight angle, around 30-45 degrees.
2. Lie down on the bench with your feet securely positioned at the bottom and your head at the top.
3. Hold a dumbbell in one hand and extend your arm straight up towards the ceiling.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbell towards your chest, keeping your elbow at a 45-degree angle from your body.
5. Press the dumbbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arm at the top.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps on one arm before switching to the other arm.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise by keeping your core engaged, back flat against the bench, and controlling the movement of the dumbbell. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
